1994
ANNUAL REPORT
We, the Washington State Patrol, answer our citizens' call for public
safety.
The Washington State ferry on the cover of the 1994 Annual Report signifies
the addition of vessel and terminal security (VATS) to the many other
services provided by the department.
In 1994, Washington state recorded its lowest death rate ever: 1.33
deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. This was a significant
accomplishment with the addition of the state ferry routes, which extended
the State Patrol's jurisdiction of the highway system.
